I had a GTB it was a great looking bike but the ride was meh, kind of harsh & the welds were a bit sloppy for such a coveted bike. From what I gather, the GTB was like the Bianchi Pista (& currently the Mercier Kilo TT )...an entry level bike that a lot of street riders like. I much prefer the ride of my steel Kilo TT, but the GT definitely was a hot looking bike.
